Waren-Nossentin - 1 November 1806 (Nossetin)

Klopik (Prussian) 3 Banners, 26 blocks lost
Michalxo (French) 5 Banners, 16 blocks lost

Impossible to win for Prussian commander. How could many of these scenario could go through testing? I don't understand it
They seem nice on map, but gameplay-joy is really low level.

Should a counterattack of a scout card count for a Prussian banner? don't think it made much difference to our match but I'd like to know.

I strongly believe yes. It's harsh rule, but counterattack is just a mirrored last played card in my understanding.

I seem to recall some discussion of this relevant to the Guerrilla Marker, and that a Counterattack of a Scout card was treated as if the Spanish had played a Scout card for GM purposes. So I would say the same logic applies.

With 19 matches of 36 played (just over 50%) there have been 2 Prussian wins. If this trend continues, then the French group will be decided by Block losses.

Rounds 2 & 5 seem to be the closest, and Round 3 & 6 the most pro-French

Kind of an unfortunate scenario selection, but always hard to judge when there is no play history

Grondeaux (Prussian) 1 Banner won, 6 blocks lost
toddrew (French) 5 Banners won, 16 blocks lost (10 blocks, if exiting blocks do not count as block losses)

Opening French draw garnered two Cavalry Charges, and the first French play was lucky enough to take out a hill encamped artillery (8d rolled, three hits), and lone leader Sobbe on the breakthrough. Assualt Center play by the Prussians kept the game from ending on the next turn, and some relatively hot rolling (lots of CAV and FLG results) caused the next Cavalry Charge to be one solely about positioning. The Prussians were able to pick off one of the French Cavalry units (two CAV results on 3d), but fate was pretty much sealed as two French Cavalry units escaped off the board, with a third positioned to leave the next turn if not eliminated. Only one CAV result on the 4d from the Prussians, and the single block French LC exited to end the game at 5-1, French.
